006 - Building a Fashion Empire with B. Akerlund

B. Akerlund is a fashion activist from Sweden who started out as
a stylist for low budget movies, photoshoots, and small projects
and has worked her way up to becoming a world-renowned stylist.
However, she calls herself a fashion activist rather than a stylist
because she fights for fashion. She has worked with a star-studded
list of clients, including Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Ghost, Katy Perry,
Madonna, Fergie, Icona Pop, Coldplay, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga,
and more. B. is known for her over the top and eccentric style,
which has greatly influenced the fashion industry.

In this episode, we talk about B.’s childhood moving from Sweden
to Beverly Hills, what it was like growing up, where her love for
fashion originated, and becoming independent from an early age. B.
states being pregnant with twins was the most surreal feeling of
her life because growing up as an only child, she always wished
that she had a twin. She also speaks about her experience going on
tour with Madonna while pregnant and making the decision to take
time off to be conscious about her pregnancy, as well as about the
unspoken truths of C-section recovery. B. emphasizes the happiness
she feels being a mother to twins and how she handles balancing her
dedication to her work, kids, and marriage.
